‘Kate Atkinson is an international treasure: She creates characters with the ease of Agatha Christie, makes narratives out of mysteries and mystery out of narrative, and has written some of the most memorable scenes and dialogue I’ve encountered in the past decade’ Vanity Fair
The first story collection from Kate Atkinson in twenty years, Normal Rules Don’t Apply is a dazzling array of eleven interconnected tales from the bestselling author of Shrines of Gaiety and Life After Life.
In Kate Atkinson’s first full collection since Not the End of the World, a queen makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary watches over the life she has just left; and a man’s luck changes when a horse speaks to him. Witty and wise, with subtle connections between each of these short stories, Normal Rules Don’t Apply is a startling and funny feast for the imagination.
